With New Year fast approaching, wouldn’t it be great to start the new year with a clear conscious by getting all those unfinished work tasks/projects completed?

I’m talking about those tasks/projects that play on our mind, weighing us down and preventing us from feeling like we are on top of things. They are almost always thought of in a negative frame of mind and make us feel like we are failing.

Let’s get started and make it a reality!

Think about (or actually stand in) the room that you do your most work in, whether it be at your office, in a home office or a space in the home where you spend the most time working. Picture it in your mind or if you are there, look around and get a really good feel for exactly what your office contains. Pay close attention to the following:

• The ambiance – is it too dark, musty, unventilated?
• The layout of furniture
• Miscellaneous items and their placement
• The many piles of paper all over the desk
• The contents of drawers and cupboards

Now ask yourself the following questions:

• Do you like this room?
• How do you feel being in this room? Choose a word that describes your feeling.
• Does your office function well?
• What changes would you make if you could make them?
• What unfinished projects are here, pulling at you?
• Do you know where everything is? Can you find the things you need?
• Is this room clean?
• Is this room decorated in an inspiring way? If not, what simple changes would help?
• Are you able to get work done efficiently in this room?
• Could the furniture be moved to be more functional and appealing?

If your work space is tidy, functional and clean… fantastic! If you love being in this room, even better! You are fortunate and should be able to get stuck into those unfinished projects right away.
